If it Hasn’t Happened Yet, it Will…. Dealing with a Data Breach
When: April 5, 2017
Cybersecurity has become an urgent concern for companies - regardless of size or industry. For most, it's not a matter of "if" they have been breached, it's a matter of "when". As such, it's increasingly important to plan and develop a communications strategy in the event of a data breach. The panel provides a timely and critical discussion for the role IR should play in ensuring a company is prepared to adequately respond when its information is compromised by a breach or cyber-attack.
